I am a new user to the LISTSERV and have just recently subscribed to
lstsrv-l in hopes of having some questions answered (and to learn more
about the list server).  I understand the format to subscribe to a list
is:
 
SUBscribe listname <your_full_name>
 
Here is my problem:  I would like to subscribe to IBMPC-L list BUT
I do not want the mail to be sent to my personal mailbox.  With our
mail system it is possible for me to establish a BITNET name which you
can send to which will then have the mail sent to a public notesfile
on our system.  This opens the list up to many users on our system with
just one subscription to the list.  I would like for the mail from
IBMPC-L to be sent to "IBMPC@FSU" instead of "DAY@FSU".  Can anyone
explain how I can accomplish this?
 
It appears the listserver uses the FROM: field in my subscription note
for the "return address".  Is it possible to use another field
(maybe REPLY-TO:) to give the actual address to send the list?  I can
generate my own "user-fields" if needed....is this route possible?
Any information will be greatly appreciated.  Thank-you very much.
